Proteins also act as what in cells to control reactions?

Enzymes, made primarily of proteins, help regulate the rate of chemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are giant molecules with complex structures ordered together to form an organized structure that allows the reactants to lock together in a certain way, often called "lock" and "key" in the textbooks.


What is the most common purpose for proteins?

Proteins can form biological structures, such as cytoskeletons. They can also be enzymes, which catalyze chemical reactions, can act as antibodies, and can also act as membrane receptors to bind molecules to a cell.


Do plant cells need proteins?

Plant cells do need proteins to live/survive. They also make proteins.


Proteins can perform many different functions in living cells One major function acting as a catalyst for chemical reactions can also be performed by what other kind of organic molecule?

Enzymes that act as catalysts for chemical reactions can also be performed by RNA molecules called ribozymes. Ribozymes, like enzymes, can speed up chemical reactions and are capable of catalyzing a wide range of biochemical reactions in living cells.


Proteins that facilitate reactions are?

Proteins that facilitate reactions are called Enzymes (the biological catalysts). They are very much essential for carrying out reactions at greater speed and perfection without which life s susatainability will be lost. Not all enzymes are proteins and also not all proteins are enzymes.!!!


Are transport proteins only in plant cells?

No, transport proteins are also in other organisms.

Why is protein vital for life?

Proteins are required in providing energy to the body,growth and repair of body cells, speeds up chemical reactions, and also protects the body against diseases.


What is the job of proteins?

Proteins have many functions in the body, including building and repairing tissues, regulating chemical reactions, aiding in immune response, and serving as enzymes to catalyze reactions. They also play a critical role in cell signaling and transport of molecules within the body.


Do proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell processes?

Cells are the complex unit of life; everything currently considered to be alive consists of one or more cells. Because cells are alive, they metabolize, reproduce, and respond to environmental stimuli in ecological and evolutionary time. This involves several very complex systems of cell structures and metabolic pathways, each built out of one or more of the four categories of organic compounds - polysaccharides, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Proteins are involved in most systems, mainly due to their subcategory of enzymes. Enzymes facilitate chemical transformations and motor movements, including DNA replication and gene expression. Proteins are, in short, the functional aspect of a cell and could be construed as controlling the cell, although it should be stressed that proteins only carry out the specific functions dictated by their structures, which is coded for by DNA. A common misconception is that DNA, as the "code of life" containing all the cell's information, controls the cell as the brain controls the body. However, DNA merely stores information; proteins "read" and carry out all of the nuclear information within the cell while the molecules of DNA themselves are completely passive.


Proteins are an important class of molecules because of the functions they perform. Proteins can .?

Proteins can act as enzymes, catalyzing chemical reactions in the body. They also play a crucial role in the structure and function of cells and tissues, including muscle growth and repair. Additionally, proteins are involved in transport of molecules, immune response, and cell signaling.
